Dandelion.

Today was rather uneventful. I didn't feel the greatest most of the day and I spent the majority of it cleaning or laying down, in hopes that laying down would help me feel better. It didn't. I was supposed to go out tonight but for whatever reason that didn't happen. Although right now I'm kinda happy I didn't because I'm starting to feel worse. Ugh I hope I can sleep well tonight. Tomorrow is our party and Saturday Dennis is coming to celebrate his birthday (which is actually on Sunday) with me. So now is just not a good time to get sick!!! AHH!! Well I'm going to head to bed and see if that will help this.

Before the pictures, I have to say dandelions have always fascinated me and I have always thought they were beautiful, even though they are weeds and everyone else hates them. And parachute balls are my favorite, when I was little I used to love it when they would be ready and I would sit in the grass and pull the seeds off one by one and blow them into the wind. So when I had the chance to take this picture I was excited. And I know I'm strange, I never claimed to be normal! =) Here are the shots of the day:

I'm good at not looking like I feel! =)

im the same though i took some pics before and you wouldnt think i was ill but i was bored lying in bed so i pulled my makeup case on the bed and started playing incase i do feel well enough to go out tomorrow and the final outcome was good.. its like a mask though enough makeup and i think i could disguise if i was dead and decomposing lol!!

Interesting.

Yeah, I ONLY wear eye make-up so if I'm really sick my paleness shows, sometimes I'll throw some blush on to counteract that but I've never been a foundation or powder or concealer girl. It's all the eyes for me.

"dandelion and burdock" What kind of pop do you use?

kate said...

what do u mean what kind of pop???? i will see if i can find the ingredients used to make it.. its pretty much a fizzy drink like coke or dr pepper but it was invented back in the victorian times ish i think!

kate said...

here u go bryan have a read.. i think if u found a recipe for the cordial if u added it to plain soda water it might have a similar affect!

Haha, Kate is from England and didn't know what pop is. Don't worry I straightened it out! =)

kate said...

lol well we have pop over here but i have hand on heart never heard an ammerican use it always heard it as soda so i thought he meant something else! lol

sjkrueger said...

Haha, well I think it's mainly a midwest thing, am I right? Anyone? I know it Texas everything is called coke instead of soda or pop.

kate said...

so even sprite and brisk get called coke.. well that would be mighty confusing when placing an order for a drink wouldnt it!! lol!!
i dunno u lot are crazy out there.. but i do like the whole free refill thing on drinks i only know pizza hut here that do it!!

sjkrueger said...

That's what I have heard. When you order a drink you order a coke and they ask you what kind. lol.
I would just call it pop. . .

Crazy is in the eye of the beholder but since every aspect of my life is crazy I'll accept that! =)

kate said...

true!! though luckily where we have been havent encountered the nuttiness yet! i swear though gareth would move to the us just for bubba gump co and raspberry ice tea!! lol

I was gonna say something about you calling it soda. I figured you would say something from me calling it pop in return. I have family in England. My Grandma was a WW2 bride. She was from Bristol.

awww well if ur grandma is still around (heres hoping she is) she might remember dandelion and burdock.. i dont know if it was rationed or not made during the war but she might do!!
lol i just know a lot of american people and my brother in law lives in america so i have learnt to use words more fitting so theres not as much confusion!
